“I must say that, in addition to the fact that on-line courses are a revolution in continuing education, your program is one of the best I have seen and it was a pleasure to take this course. (did I really say that about a hygiene and sanitation course?) Thank you!”
-- J.H. from Culinary Sanitation and Safety --
